<p>I’m planning to enroll in Computer Engineering as a freshie in the fall. I want to know what a person who has actually gone through a year in engineering thinks of the “ECA” here: [url=<a href=“http://admissions.illinois.edu/cost/tuition.html]U”>Page Not Found, Illinois Undergraduate Admissions]U</a> of I Admissions: Tuition & Fees<a href=“as%20an%20engineer%20I%20am%20at%20the%20high%20end%20of%20the%20Residents%20scale%20($33,922)”>/url</a>. </p>
<p>Is the “Other expenses” category realistic, given that I know how to live meagerly? Keeping in mind the fact that I plan to stay at Hendrick; with only 14 meals/week I’m sure to be buying snacks out of pocket.</p>
<p>While we’re talking about Hendrick, any horror stories/comments about it? Would it be worth it to go to the west (that’s the better one, right?) building?</p>
<p>Is the “Books and supplies” cost representative for an engineer?</p>
<p>What should I expect to pay in taxes? I have merit money up to ECA and plan to work over summer if it’s relevant. </p>
<p>Your response GREATLY appreciated :)</p>
